I had only a Ps1 till about 2003. My friends and my uncle all had one. My uncle was the "cool" uncle who would let me stay up all night when ever I stayed at his house, letting me watch Beavis and Butthead and R-rated movies. In 2001, when I was 9, I was staying over his house again. When my parents left his place, my uncle turned on the PS2 and said "Check this shit out". When the DMC intro movie played, I was already hooked. When Dante shot away the motorcycle that trish had chucked at him, all with a sword impaled through him, I couldnt believe it. My uncle passed me the controller when the game started, and i immediately started jumping around, and found that first Blue demon crystal shard. my uncle didnt even know that was there. Entering into the castle, i was fraked out. the music and the Gothic architecture was legitimately scary to me. Now this bears mentioning, at the time, I was horrified of living puppet things. Chucky and Slappy from Goosebumps lived in my nightmares. When i saw the unnatural movements of those fucking marrionettes, I took great pleasure in utterly destroying those damned things. the Scene when Dante gets Alastor was the greatest thing i had ever seen. Dante was a Badass. plain and simple. I fucking loved the first game. Then i played DMC2. yeah. Fuck that game. Anyway, prior to 3 coming out, I mustve watched that trailer video at least 30 times. But when i played it at the age of 13, I nearly smashed my controller. fuck that game was hard. But the point is, DMC1 was one of the best games i ever played and one of the main reasons I got my PS2. Well that and MGS2.

EDIT

I decided to update this blog as the news story for the new DMC just went up. I do not understand the behind this game. I think the new design looks fine. I think dante in DMC 3 was awful, inside and out.

He turned into Sonic the hedgehog with the 'tude factor. Actually, more like the ninja turtles, like in the begginning when hes trying to eat pizza and demons inturrupt him! HILARIOUS!! I could not, for the life of me, get into DMC 4. i think its the second worst of the series. i dont know how Capcom could never repeat the pure awesomeness that was the first game.

Ninja theory has proven that they can make good action games, Enslaved had some DMC style combat, albeit slower, but it was still great fun nonetheless. Give it a chance guys, come on.

Great game!!!

I loved DMC 1. It wasn't my first but it was a fantastic game. I never played the second or third but I do have them in my collection. I bought them awhile ago with the intention of playing them. I just haven't gotten around to doing it. The game I credit for making me the gamer I'm today is Final Fantasy VII. I mean, I played nintendo and Genesis before that but when I beal FFVII for the first time, I knew games had the power to make me feel emotions just like a movie or book. From that day forth, I was hooked.
